\nMaking things out of paper is kind of a hobby of mine, so I can’t help but post these two items from the paper-crazy Japanese design collective, Shirara. The paper block kit has ‘great gift’ written all over it (and yes, the tiara is a little frou-frou-ish, but that’s what a tiara is, so deal with it).<\/p>\n

Paper Blocks, $44.00,
\nBuy it here.<\/a><\/p>\n

This 23-piece set stirs the imagination both artistically and spatially. The pristine paper blocks are a blank slate for children of all ages to illustrate with their wildest dreams. The blocks are in varying shapes to accommodate all kinds of structures. Comes flat-packed. No glue necessary: It’s self-adhesive to allow for easy assembling. Designed by Mai Miura <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Flatpacked and measuring about 6-3\/4″ tall and about 16-1\/4″ before interlocking the tabs–making it a perfectly princely coronet for all ages. by Tomitama<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
